School Description

Provided by South University- Savannah

South University's Savannah campus is home to the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business, College of Health Professions, and School of Pharmacy.

In 2000, the Health Professions building was opened and houses classroom and lab facilities for the Physician Assistant, Physical Therapist Assisting, and Medical Assisting programs. The Health Professions Building also houses the campus library, student lounge, and administrative offices.

The campus library houses a large book collection that includes extensive law, business and medical resources. As a student, you can retrieve articles in print and electronic formats from its collection of periodicals, many of which are accessible anywhere from on- or off-campus. Some of the sources that make these services available include: WESTLAW, the computerized legal research service; EbscoHost, a collection of thousands of journal articles covering business and academic subjects, and PQ Central, the largest aggregated resource on the market.

In 2007, the library was relocated to a new dedicated facility on the Savannah campus adding space, computer labs, classrooms and study areas.

It's pretty much classified like the usual online schools such as Strayer, Walden, etc. http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/directory/brief/drglance_13039_brief.php US News didn't rank them, but lists their prices and student body numbers.
